The RCO's regular overseas study trips offer advanced players and observers of all levels an invaluable professional development experience with classes and other playing opportunities on exceptional instruments supported by expert tuition.
Organs to be played include Stift Klosterneuburg, one of the most important Baroque organs in Austria, and Vienna's Stephansdom with one of the newest and largest instruments in Austria. We will also spend a day at St Florian Monastery where Bruckner was a choirboy and subsequently organist. Students of art and architecture will not go unrewarded as these organs are housed in stunning buildings.
